Season 6, Episode 12
Fast food worker
5 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The sadness continues as Buffy takes a job at a burger joint and tries to figure out how to work the cash register. You can feel how smooths she feels not knowing how it works, a long line of customers and the employees who clock in like zombies. It makes you think what is a pretty girl settling for this type of work and you realize difficult times can call for the worst jobs. Her slayer duties took priority over school not allowing her to become a lawyer or a nurse making the situation even more downing. The only exciting feature is when she finds body parts in the meat grinder thinking it's people and knocking trays out of customers hands. It feels like this type of situation should've arose during season 3 with the lunch room lady and the script was held back now only making an appearance.

Spike even knows she isn't happy at her job, it will kill her spirit and can get her money. You can see she's tempted, but its to easy to give in and part of being an adult is relying on yourself not someone else. Spike being undead can take what he wants or needs with no worries of tomorrow and shows the disconnect between them.
